Endodontic treatment, more commonly known
as root canal therapy, is necessary when the pulp of your tooth becomes
inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of
causes such as deep decay, repeated dental procedures on your tooth, or
a crack or chip in the tooth. With proper care, an Endodontically treated
tooth will function normally for years to come.

When decay or damage goes untreated it can result in an infection to the pulp chamber of the tooth

After creating a small opening, very small
instruments are used to clean and shape the root canal spaces.

The cleaned spaces are filled with a biocompatible
material and specialized cement to ensure complete sealing of
the root canals.
